10-wicket haul for groundsman
Police to
discuss
crime
concerns

LAST WEEK Sumner’s Brendon
Wellington could only dream
of a 10-wicket haul, it’s now a
reality after doing it in a single
afternoon.
Wellington, 36, was the star of

on Saturday.
Playing New Brighton in a
two-day match in the Metro senior
A competition, Wellington
finished day one with figures of
7-30 in the first innings and 3-28
in the second innings to complete
a great day at the office.

it the office as well seeing as he is

LYTTELTON police have
responded to community
concerns about their response
to crime.
Sergeant Dave Knowles has
organised a community meeting
next week to address the concerns
and present new Lyttelton
crime figures.
The meeting was organised
last week – after months of concern
by residents and articles in
the Bay Harbour News.
Last week Bay Harbour
News reported on a former
detective, Peter Newsome, who
complained about the level of
service.
Last month it was revealed
a community survey of about
100 Lyttelton residents found
two-thirds believed the police
response to crime was inadequate.
Sergeant Knowles said he
wanted to be open with the
community, and answer any
questions they had.
He was invited by the Bay
Harbour News to sit down to
discuss the latest crime figures,
but he said he would rather
present them to the whole community
at the meeting.
The meeting will be held at
6pm on March 16 at the Lyttelton
Primary School hall on Oxford
St.
“We want a chance to supply
statistics that are factual, and
that way you’ll immediately see
that some people’s perception of
it is incorrect,” he said.
Canterbury area prevention
manager Acting Inspector
Paul Reeves and Lyttelton Senior
Sergeant Stephen McDaniel
also planned to be at the meeting
to help answer questions, he
said.

FROM
THE
EDITOR’S
DESK News........................3-5, 9, 10
FINALLY THE Lyttelton police
have come out of the trenches and
communicated with us.
Yes, Sergeant Dave Knowles has
contacted Bay Harbour News about
our ongoing coverage of the community’s
concern over policing in
the port and bay areas.
Police will hold a community
meeting next Thursday where they
will present crime figures and answer
questions from the floor.
Sergeant Knowles said police
want a chance to supply statistics
that are factual, which will show
some people’s perception is incorrect.
That’s great news – but my
question is, why is it only now that
Lyttelton police are reacting? It is
because Bay Harbour News and the
community have been beating the
drum for months.
Police must listen to their community
– not be directed by public
relations hacks in Wellington.

Redcliffs tennis stalwart takes
second award for club work
• By Gordon Findlater
DI FRANCE has received her
second nod in as many months
for her work on reopening the
Redcliffs Tennis Club.
The Redcliffs president was
named administrator of the year
at the Nexia New Zealand Canterbury
Sports Awards at the Air
Force Museum of New Zealand
on Friday night.
“There were nine nominations
for administrators and they had
all done some amazing work so
I find it very humbling,” said
France.
“It’s nice to be recognised,
but for me the reward is seeing
people out playing tennis, particularly
all the kids out there
using the courts – that’s the
main reward.”
In January, she was named
volunteer of the year at Tennis
New Zealand’s annual awards in
Auckland.
Following the February
2011 earthquake, France was
instrumental in helping the club
avoid extinction. She stepped in
as project manager, applying for
community grants and overseeing
the reinstatement of the
damaged courts.
When the club reopened
in May 2013, she was elected
president. Under her leadership,
membership has grown from 40
juniors and 22 seniors to more
than 130 juniors and 35 affiliated
senior members.
This hasn’t been her first stint
in the role. She served as the
club’s president during the early
1980s before becoming inactive
in the sport for more than 20
years.
When rumours of the club’s
potential closure came to light
following the earthquake, she
was prompted into action.
“I think that was one of the
things that seemed to have an
influence, the fact that I hadn’t
played tennis for 22 years. And
I went back because I saw that

there was the need to reestablish
the tennis courts,” said France.
She continues to be the driving
force behind the tennis club.
She established junior tennis
coaching, first by engaging
Stu Chalmers as junior coach
in 2013, then by organising
Evie Ruegg to take on the head
coaching role.
The club is currently holding
its junior championships,
which finish this weekend, and
it will be followed by the senior
champs in early April.
France also established social
senior club tennis on Tuesday
and Friday mornings, which she
herself attends. Along with her
husband, Roger, she under takes
regular maintenance of the
courts, clubhouse and hall.
In Brief
POOL TABLE AUCTION
The owner of the British Hotel was
surprised how much its 50-yearold
pool table sold for on Friday.
The table was auctioned off for
more than $4000 to raise money
to help restore the hotel to its
former glory days. Owner Rebecca
Lovell-Smith was “really pleased”
the pool table went to a Lyttelton
resident who saw sentimental
value in the item. “The pool table
got a great price, it will pay a few
outstanding invoices,” she said.
FIRE BAN REMINDER
Little River Volunteer Fire Brigade
chief fire officer David Irving
reminds residents that there is a
fire ban in the area and people
need to be wary about potential
fire hazards. He said long grass
around buildings and sheds can be
a concern as people often forget to
tend to it. “People need to be very,
very diligent,” he said.
TOURIST CAR CRASH
An American tourist was taken to
hospital with bruises after a headon
crash on Wainui Main Rd on
Sunday morning. Senior Constable
Tim Johnson said the woman
was driving on the wrong side of
the road when she collided with
the car, but was lucky they were
both travelling at a low speed. “If it
had been a 100km/h area, it would
have been a lot worse,” he said.

Former cop more positive after meeting
• By Noah Graham
A FORMER detective who
complained about the Lyttelton
police is now feeling more
positive after a meeting with a
senior Canterbury officer.
Peter Newsome, who lives in
port, met with Acting Inspector
Paul Reeves last week to discuss
an official complaint he made
to the Minister of Police Paula
Bennett.
Mr Newsome laid the
complaint in January after he felt
two of his requests for help were
“fobbed off” by local police.
He was also concerned about
the lack of local police on
duty at the weekends and after
hours.
Mr Newsome’s complaint
comes alongside growing
discontent in Lyttelton about the
police coverage there.
Mr Newsome told Bay
Harbour News yesterday that
he was listened to and was told
Lyttelton police will work with
the community going forward.
“I’m happy with it because it
will help address some of the
issues at the Lyttelton police
station and it will start a wider
debate with the community over
what police are doing.”
Mr Newsome’s complaint
comes as two residents, Candice
Milner and Paul Dietche, put
together an online survey of
about 100 residents concerned
about policing. Sixty-six per
cent believed the police response
to crime in the area was
inadequate.
But, Mr Newsome said his
formal complaint was not
completely resolved.
Mr Newsome said Acting
Inspector Reeves addressed his
requests for help specifically
and explained the prioritisation
policy the police use when
dealing with incidents, which

Newsome, met with Canterbury area prevention manager,

helped him understand and
agree one of his requests for help
was low on the list.
However, Mr Newsome
believed police did not have
enough resources.
Overall, Mr Newsome said
the talk was successful and
thinks there will be more
communication between
the Lyttelton community and
police.
“I just think we have started a
process and there is a dialogue
in place between police and the
community.”

Hope for Sumner skate park
THE BALL is starting to roll for a
new permanent site for a Sumner
skate park.
The skate park was closed down
on Wakefield Ave last month
after it did not pass city council
sound level tests.
But the Linwood-Central-
Heathcote Community Board has
now decided to find a permanent
skate park in the area with a full
site selection process and a bid
for funding in the city council’s
Long Term Plan – which governs
spending between 2018-2028.
Sumner Green and Skate
spokeswoman Kimberly Mossman
said she was delighted by
the response from the board and
thought it was “absolutely brilliant”.
Previously
United Travel
However, Mrs Mossman said
the group really hoped for a good
partnership with city council and
although they need to find a skate
park site, she hoped they would
provide what the community
really wants – a combined green
and skate park.
Firefighters hit the streets
for cancer charity
DONATING: Firefighters from the Lyttelton Volunteer
Fire Brigade spent Saturday in their uniforms as they
collected more than $3000 of donations for Leukemia
& Blood Cancer New Zealand as part of the Sky Tower
Stair Challenge in May. Chief fire officer Mark Buckley
said Saturday’s collection was one of several they are
doing over the next two months. He said they aim to
have raised $15,000 for the event.
FINAL SKATE:
Charlie Hatley,
7, enjoyed the
old Sumner
skate ramp one
last time at its
farewell last
month.
“The only way to get a good
outcome is to get the community’s
voice heard.”
She said the Green and Skate
group know 26 Nayland St is the
best choice for a skate park and
understands city council have
to go through long processes to
purchase the land from LINZ.
However, she said there also
needs to be continued and open
consultation from city council
to the community so it can try
to gain from 20 through to 26
Nayland St for a village green and
skate area.
Mrs Mossman said it has been
a frustrating and long process but
if city council “talks the talk”, the
future for the skate park is promising.
She said the children are
really missing their skate ramp
and have been travelling out of
Sumner and into the city to fill
their skating craving.
Community Board member
Sara Templeton said there has
been demand for a skate park in
the Bays area for many years.
In Brief
BONFIRE CALLOUT
Firefighters attended a small
bonfire on Sumner Beach
on Saturday night. Sumner
Volunteer Fire Brigade deputy
chief fire officer Darren
Wright said they were called
out to the bonfire, which
could have easily spread.
He said conditions are still
extremely dry and people
need to take care.
HEADSTONE REPAIRS
The Banks Peninsula
Community Board is asking
for advice on whether
a building consent is
required to fix headstones
in city council cemeteries.
Chairwoman Christine
Wilson said the question was
raised by a board member.
She said a lot of headstones
throughout Christchurch
were damaged in the 2011
earthquakes, including
some in Lyttelton. She
said although the repair of
headstones is usually left up
to the families, some may not
be around to care for them
anymore. While repairing
the headstones is not an
immediate issue, the board
wants to have the information
ready so it is prepared for
when something is done
about them, she said.

Not out after 16 years playing
Club captain Dan Vann has played for Sumner Cricket for 16 years. His love
for cricket has taken him all over the world and helped define his career as
a junior representative coach and Chisnallwood’s PE teacher. Noah Graham
spoke to him about his time in the game
A CAPTAIN’S KNOCK: Chisnallwood Intermediate School PE
teacher, Sumner Cricket Club captain and coach Dan Vann
spends most of his days talking and teaching cricket.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
What drew you into cricket?
It’s been in my family, my
grandfather used to be the
president of Otago cricket
and he was also an umpire,
and then my dad played from
there. Obviously, my brother
and I started playing and just
continued on through. I enjoy
it, it’s my passion and my job
as well. In my holidays and
after school I do a bit of cricket
coaching. It’s working on a lot of
mental training.
How does coaching compare
to playing?
I enjoy it. I still like playing.
I’ve always helped people get
better at things. Coaching just
came as part of that. I actually
got into teaching through
coaching. I did a bit of cricket
coaching when I was younger
and people just said I’d make a
good primary school teacher.
That’s what made me go to
Teacher’s College and I followed
it from there.
When did you start
playing?
I started in early primary
school and then backyard
cricket at home with my younger
brother. We used to play against
each other a lot. We used to live
on a farm so we had a few mates
from the area come along and
play a bit of backyard cricket.
Then we moved into the city
when I was a bit older. I actually
played at Sumner because I went
to Linwood College and it’s not
a very good cricket school. My
friend’s dad was the president –
Ray Steel – so I started playing at
the Sumner Cricket Club when I
was 15 or 16. I’ve played here for
about 16 years.
What was it like playing for
Sumner when you started?
When I first started I did okay.
It was good coming to Sumner
because the club had a very
strong senior team. I used to
play with the second team but I
would train with the first team.
So we had a lot of ex-Canterbury
players who would help coach
us. I worked my way up into
the senior team when I was 18
and then there were about two
years when I was known as
the ‘specialist’ fielder because
that’s all I did. Then a lot of the
older guys retired so I became
more of a senior player and then
eventually I was captain for a
couple of years and now I’m the
coach and the club captain. I
always ran the coaching sessions
and have helped the juniors and
stuff like that.
What’s the best part of
playing cricket?
It’s probably the camaraderie
of playing with your mates.
Cricket’s a game where you
spend half the time sitting and
not playing. If you don’t enjoy
the guys you’re hanging out with
then you’re not going to enjoy the
cricket. We’re lucky we’ve always
had a good team.
What is the memory that
sticks out to you the most?
Since I’ve been at the club
we’ve won about six or seven
titles. When we won them about
10 years ago I was an up-andcomer
and didn’t contribute as
much in terms of the game. In
more recent years it’s been a bit
more rewarding because of the
responsibility myself and the
other senior players have to
bare.
Effort with ball puts team in dominant
ON A ROLL:
Sumner
groundsman
Brendon
Wellington
rolled the
wicket at St
Leonards
Square
before
rolling
the New
Brighton
batting lineup.
•From page 1
His effort has left Sumner in a
dominant position going into the
second day on Saturday.
New Brighton finished day one
on 88/4 in their second innings, still
55 runs behind Sumner who will be
eyeing up a rare innings victory.
The conditions certainly didn’t
hamper the Sumner batting effort.
Put into bat they managed a first innings
total of 294/8 before the match
became the Wellington show.
The groundsman come strike
bowler single handily ripped
through New Brighton’s top order.
Wicketkeeper batsman Tom
McDonald was the only player to
put up a fight launching 95 from
53 balls before he was inevitably
dismissed by Wellington as New
Brighton fell for 151 all out in the
23rd over.
Sumner asked New Brighton to
follow-on and Wellington’s form
continued as he picked up three
for 28 to end the day with 10-58.
“It was a good feeling to get
there. I’ve had a few five wicket
bags but finally have the 10-wicket
match after 20 years of trying,”
said Wellington.
“I did some pretty good celebratory
moves . . . I even pulled out a
special celebration, the chainsaw.”
He credits his success to “old age
and experience.”
Through four games in the twoday
competition Wellington had
taken 17 wickets at an average of
16.23 and strike rate of 28.24.
Sumner Club captain Dan
Vann said Wellington had done
exceptionally well as the pitch was
a batsman’s wicket.

cricket for Sumner
What’s the highest you have
ever scored?
Last year I got 141. The last
couple of years I have been
batting at seven because our
team has got a good batting
order. Between me and a couple
of other guys we would come in
and have a tee-off at the end. In
this particular game we were five
wickets down for eight runs and
one of the young guys I coached
got 87 and I got 141. He got out
just before I did. So we probably
put on 230-run partnership and
we ended up winning by an
innings.
Do you have any
superstitions?
A lot of cricketers are
superstitious but I’m not really
that crazy. I always do the things
that we always do. I walk through
the gate when you go to bat. I
always mark my centre wicket
after I hit the boundary. But
that’s more of a routine to keep
me focused.
Who is the team to beat?
At the moment Heathcote is
our biggest rival. They’re the top
club at the moment. They’re just
one of the better teams to play.
If you beat them you have had a
good day.
How long have you been a
teacher for and what schools
have you worked at?
I’ve been a teacher at
Chisnallwood for nine years. I
took a sabbatical in 2012 and was
a player and coach in England. I
went to Hertfordshire and played
for a club called Broxbourne. I
just did relief teaching and PE
teaching over there. It was quite
casual work and it allowed me
ON STRIKE:
Vann in
a familiar
environment,
batting on the
St Leonards
Square wicket
in Sumner.
to still coach four or five times a
week.
How did teaching differ in
England?
Teaching PE in England I
found the kids were far less into
other sports. They loved football
but if it wasn’t football they
weren’t too keen. I think the
schools were very strict on the
way you did things. You didn’t
have freedom as a relief teacher.
Did not have the Kiwi “she’ll be
right mate” attitude.
So other than cricket, what
else do you like to do?
Just any outdoors sports stuff
really. I do a bit of snowboarding,
golf, I used to play rugby for
Sumner as well. I play a bit of
indoor cricket in the winter.
Mountain biking. Just anything
outdoors, really. I’m pretty busy
with teaching, coaching and still
trying to play cricket as well. It’s
pretty busy.
Could you tell me a bit about
your family?
Just my wife Michelle, and
our dog, Duke. Duke is a bit of a
mixture. He’s a bit too intelligent
for his own good. He’s quite
a good escape artist but he’s
calmed down in the past few
years. He’s had a few surgeries.
He’s not old, just slowing down a
little bit. He is quite well behaved
when we’re home. He likes to be
around people and doesn’t like to
be left alone so he’ll take himself
for a walk. My brother and his
wife and two kids. He’s two years
younger than me. We’re a pretty
small family.
position
He said they were scheduled to play
at Rawhiti but there were problems
with the New Brighton pitch and
the game was moved to their home

in the two-day competition with one
round remaining following Saturday’s

The team took out the one-day competition
earlier in the summer and
although they are out of the race for
the two-day competition they can still
win the overall points tally, which
takes results from both formats.

Tree under threat
• By Noah Graham
RICHARD JONES says
chopping down an iconic
Seamount Tce tree is
“disappointing’.
Mr Jones has lived at his
family home in Mt Pleasant onand-off
for the past 65 years and
as an admiring neighbour of the
gum tree, he is certain the community
would not be the same
without it.
The 90-year-old manna gum
has been cut piece-by-piece over
the past few weeks after the
owner of the property decided
it was too much to manage, he
said.
In response, Mr Jones was one
of more than 50 Mt Pleasant
residents who signed a petition
to show their support for the
tree in an attempt to change the
owner’s mind.
He said the tree deserved to
be on the hill as it is a part of
the community’s history and
although he understood the
owner’s reasoning, it is a shame
the owner could not come to
another solution.
“They might not know it but
they will become known as the
family who chopped down a
90-year-old tree.
“Everyone is absolutely disappointed.”
STILL STANDING: Mt
Pleasant resident Richard
Jones says it is disappointing
a 90-year-old tree is being
cut down.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
Seamount Tce resident Eddie
Du Plessis has spent the last
three weeks rallying support for
the tree in an attempt to change
the owner’s mind.
Mr Du Plessis said he, and
five other Mt Pleasant residents,
showed the owner the petition.
The man listened to their opinions
but was not going to budge
on his decision.
“We wasted our time talking
to the owner.”
Mr Du Plessis said the owner
did not want to deal with the
effort required to keep the gum
tree maintained.
A spokesperson for the city
council said the tree used to be
on the Notable and Heritage
Trees list but was omitted from
the significant trees list in December
2015 when city council,
submitters and the property’s
owner agreed the tree did not
warrant protection.
“Accordingly, the owner is
free to manage the tree as they
wish,” the spokesperson said.
Mt Pleasant Memorial Community
Centre and Residents
Association chairman Derek
McCullough said it was sad for
the community that the tree
would be coming down but he
could see both sides of the issue.
He said he realised the tree
was an important part of the
community but there was also
parts of the tree that were dangerous.
Comments from the petition
to stop the tree being felled
It’s shape, magnificent stature
and many moods give us something
to marvel at on an hourly
basis as the weather and light
change. It has been a constant
companion from which we have
taken inspiration and strength. It
represents the beauty and uplifting
power of nature. It is indeed
a significant and exceptional tree
and it does not need to appear on
any list to provide an immense
value to many people way beyond
the boundaries of its substantial
leaf mass.
Simply look at it with fresh eyes
and try to catch a glimpse of what
we see and feel.
This tree is beautiful. Please
keep it. Ninety years old can
never be replaced in such glory.
The stunningly beautiful
manna gum tree would have
been planted around about the
same time as our house was built
and is part of that heritage. We
have a very large garden full of
natives and exotic planting and
the native birds enjoy both. You
need exotic trees to create that
diversity and artistry which helps
us all work though the trials that
life throws at us. We hope you
will reconsider this issue and we
as a community will be there to
support you in its maintenance.
I would like to express the
extreme sense of loss I would
personally feel if this tree was
removed. I have observed it in
all it’s many moods, bathed
in golden sunlight. Waving its
branches in wild weather, it is
magnificent at all times. It is a
haven for many birds, bees and
butterflies. A tree of such stature
cannot possibly be replaced. If its
beauty and character were taken
away, I would be profoundly saddened.
We in the neighbourhood all
get different views of this majestic
tree. Each day it is one of our
first sights as we let the daylight
into the kitchen. The proposal to
bring this magnificent, noble tree
down is much worse than disappointing.

BUILDING A NEW CITY WATERFRONT
Construction starts on a new central city waterfront
this month – Te Papa Ōtākaro/Avon River Precinct
– The Promenade.
It will extend from the Antigua Boatsheds near
Christchurch Hospital to the Margaret Mahy Family
Park. Work starts on the intersection Oxford Terrace
and Lichfield Street this month. The Promenade will
be finished in mid to late 2018.

will look like along Oxford Terrace, above the
Canterbury Earthquake National Memorial.
The Promenade will vary along its 2.8 kilometres,
but all areas will include:
1. An accessible walking route adjacent to
property boundaries.
2. Seating near the edge of the river.
3. A paved pathway for pedestrians near the
river edge.
4. A shared space promenade for pedestrians,
cyclists and vehicles (10kph speed limit).
5. A flexible occupation zone that can be
brought to life for outdoor eating and other
recreational uses.
6. Tree-lined rain gardens, other landscaping
and seating.

RESTORING AN OLD FAVOURITE
Work to restore Victoria Square has started and
finishes in the first quarter of 2018.
Many features in the square are either earthquake
damaged or close to the end of their life. This project
will restore the square and make it safer and more
accessible for people.
Completed section near the Worcester Street Bridge.
Paving, art, gardens, lighting, and seating will
make the area accessible to people of all ages and
abilities. Service vehicles and customers will still
be able to access businesses, but the speed limit
will be lowered.
The much loved Bowker Fountain will be repaired.
The statues of Captain Cook and Queen Victoria will
remain, as will the horse watering ramp and floral
clock. There will be some new features such as art
works and a new punt stop at the river’s edge.
There will be no access through Victoria Square
while work is underway, but access along a pathway
between Armagh Street and Durham/Kilmore
Streets (through The Commons) will be available
for most of this time.
Artist impression of what the new ‘Tauranga Waka’
punt stop will look like.
The development of the restoration plan was
overseen by a Community Reference Group
following a public feedback process carried out in
collaboration with project partners: Christchurch
City Council, Matapopore Charitable Trust on behalf
of the Te Tūnanga o Ngāi Tūāhuriri, and the former
Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority.

McCaw takes on City2Surf fun run
• By Bridget Rutherford
GEMMA MCCAW has taken
on the Coast to Coast run,
endurance races and played
more than 200 internationals for
the Black Sticks.
And, of course, after her much
publicised recent wedding, she
and husband, rugby great Richie
McCaw, kick-started their Central
Otago honeymoon with a
20km run.
But on March 19, she will be
running for fun and charity in
The Star City2Surf with Mike
Pero Real Estate.
The former Black Sticks star
and about 25 Aviva staff will run
and walk the 6km and 14km
events to raise awareness and
money for the charity.
City2Surf has chosen Aviva
as its benefiting charity for this
year’s event. Aviva provides family
violence support.
Gemma said Aviva, formerly
known as Christchurch Women’s
Refuge, was deserving,and
the City2Surf was a great way to
help.
“To have those conversations
about where people can go for
help is important for any community.”
She would not be racing to win
in the 14km event because, for
her, it was more about enjoying
it. Although, she said a minor
knee injury sustained after taking
part in the Coast to Coast
run may “slow her down a little
bit.”
Gemma said it will be her first
time running in the iconic event
and she welcomed others to join
her.
“You won’t regret it. That sense
of achievement afterwards and
that community feel is the perfect
opportunity and a great way
to spend a Sunday.”
Aviva marketing and funding
manager Julie McCloy said the
City2Surf was part of a 12-week
wellness challenge staff were
doing to promote physical wellbeing.
“For us working in family and
sexual violence, we want to help
people achieve well-being.”
City2Surf event manager
Vanessa Fleming said they were
expecting more than 12,000
people to take part this year.
“It’s amazing for Aviva to have
someone like Gemma. She’s
just an ordinary Kiwi girl supporting
the charity and raising
awareness for Aviva, which helps
families live free of violence.”
She said the 43rd event was all
about giving it a go, whether it
be walking, jogging or running.

NINa COOk - OpeNINg
Nina Cook was born in Whakatane in 1967. She was educated in Wanganui and
then at Christchurch Polytechnic School of Art and Design where she received
a Bachelor of Design. In 2007 Nina established the studio from which she
currently works. Nina’s latest exhibition named ‘Opening’ takes place at Little
River Gallery from March 11th until April 5th.
Ian Clothier writes about Nina Cook’s new works from the exhibition
‘Opening’.
“…Sumptuously indulgent, some of the paintings have sensual cavities
accompanied by extravagant displays of form and colour that come close to
gorging the eyes. Words such as colour, spectrum and visual feast apply equally
to the paintings as they do to the tail of peacocks. Such
as the collection of thoughts about feathers, colour
and visual luxury that assemble on reflection of Nina
Cook’s Opening works.”
Nina writes about her own work.
“The narrative/impetus for this series of works is deeply personal. Broadly, it is
about a cycle of profound hurt to intense release. Opening: to force an opening
(to breach) through to Opening: to release and truly open up.
The process is integral and is one of concentrated, open-minded patience,
requiring me to stay alert to paint (viscosity, brush loading, etc) and
compositional characteristics in much the same way
as fully abstract works demand. These cannot
be rushed, nor the movements/marks allowed
to become repetitively mechanical. To do so
would be to undermine the intention of the work.
The works initially appear highly decorative and
orderly – feathers mean birds. But on closer inspection, these are not any birds
you’d recognise. Their physiology is different (wrong? altered?). The colours
and intensity are emotive, the mark-making intense. These irregularities draw
you in, encourage observation and contemplation. But ultimately you are
released to once again to simply enjoy the decorative qualities of these jewels.
That they are designed to be hung at any angle, allows the image to be
changed/refreshed at will. This allows the viewer input into the relationship
each work has with its surroundings. The round paintings are very effective in
groupings, allowing differences between the works to intensify each other.”

Your Local Views
If in doubt, don’t go out!
• By Gary Manch, navigational
safety officer, Lyttelton
WITH AUTUMN now with
us a lot of you will be making
the most of the good weather.
And so you should! However,
as you will all know,
here in New Zealand we can
experience four seasons in one
day. It’s really important that
you check the weather forecast
before you enjoy your day at
sea, on the river or at the lake.
Knowledge of what is going
to happen the day you head
out on the water is crucial to
your safety and that of your
passengers.
I like to use the MetService
Marine forecast and also check
one of the other local weather
services to ensure I’m on the
right track in terms of my planning
for my day on the water.
I have weather apps on my
phone which are really simple
to use; they keep me up to date
to the very minute before I
decide to launch my boat.
Some good apps include
The Weather Channel,
MetService Marine weather
and MetService.
It’s not unusual for the
Harbourmaster’s Office to get
reports about boats getting
Pirate’s Corner
caught out in poor conditions
and sometimes requiring assistance
from Coastguard. A
lot of these boating incidences
could have been avoided if
the skipper had checked the
weather forecast before heading
out.
My philosophy on boating
safety is simple – if in doubt,
don’t go out! I know it sounds
a bit corny, but it’s a simple
way to decide whether heading
out on the water is a good idea
or not.
I’m very impressed with
Maritime New Zealand’s
catchphrase – “nobody’s
faster than disaster”. What this
means is plan for the worst.
Complacency or a simple lack
of care could have disastrous
consequences for you and your
crew.
Wearing lifejackets, having
two forms of communication
and knowing the rules are all
basic things to tick off before
you head out on the water. The
same safety measures apply to
those who kayak, canoe and
paddleboard.
That’s it from me, enjoy
yourselves on water and be
safe.
As sergeant from Hill Street
Blues (for those of you old
enough to know who he is)
would say – “let’s be careful
out there”.
We said:
The Redcliffs School board
of trustees is supporting
the Ministry of Education’s
decision to use the Redcliffs
Park site in spite of vocal
opposition.
You said:
Pamela Neil – Just leave it
where it is – six years!
Dani Cooper – Right in front
of a Cliffside, which crumbled
badly in the quakes? Don’t think
I’d send my kids there thanks.
Cathryn Lucy – The site is
entirely safe and some kids live
closer to it. The Government is
pulling rubbish out from nowhere
that kids will be psychologically
traumatised from the memories,
but that’s all they have to go on and
none of those children will be at
the school when it reopens anyway,
they will all have passed through
to high school. But even though
the site is absolutely fine, the
school has to settle for something
and compromise to even have a
school, as to argue against the park
or Barnett Park, they have to rule it
out. And if the Government rules
out the current site too, which they
want to do so they can build on it
themselves, then the school has no
option and can’t open in Redcliffs.
Sometimes you have to cut your
losses, even when you know those
you are fighting are entirely wrong.
Ideal world the school would
return to the original site which
is entirely fine and a wonderful
school site. But a school at the park
is better than no school at all.
Jamie Fowler – Leave it where
it is. If anything, move classrooms
more towards road. Make the back
end the field.
John Gamblin – Just close it
altogether that will stop people
moaning.
Andrew Johnson – Which
would be quicker – a tsunami or
the cliffs coming down?
Rob Eder – Good decision,
about time.

Work in progress?
Port Hills
MP Ruth
Dyson talks
about the
appearance
of the Bay
Harbour area
CHRISTCHURCH residents
have a proud history of caring
about and for their visual
environment.
This obsession with our surroundings
encompasses our proud
history of architects, artists and
designers who have shaped our
city, through to the suburban
“beautifying associations” who
have preened our streets and
avenues.
Given this heritage, I was not
surprised that a number of Bays
residents have approached me
and raised questions about the
final appearance of the numerous
mitigation works in their area.
It needs to be said from the
outset that these residents have always
framed their questions with
the gratitude that they feel for the
important and costly works that
have been completed to protect
vital infrastructure.
Yet, they still question what
the final visual impact of these
works will be. In Peacocks Gallop,
for instance will the “black pool
fences” be the final visual solution
for what was once an avenue of
beautifully crafted stone and iron
memorial lampposts?
Once again, I have to point out,
that these comments have not
been made in a finger-pointing
negative way. They are merely
the natural result of that great
Christchurch tradition of caring
about our community and our
shared spaces.
Since the earthquakes, residents
of the Bays community have given
freely of their time and intellect to
care for each other and to rebuild
both their communities and their
environment.
The Village Green at Sumner,
community gardens, the rebuild
of the beautiful Sumner Surf Club
and the tenacious fight for Redcliffs
School and library are but a
few prominent examples among
many.
Maybe there can be an opportunity
for that same force to reshape
what these mitigated areas will
finally look like.
In The Life Changing Art of
Tidying Up, Marie Kondo refers
to the concept that what we see
in our constructed environment
must spark joy in us.
Now that the mitigation work
has taken place, maybe it is time to
tidy-up our public spaces, and let
the people of the Bays community
lead the way in designing what
will spark joy in their surroundings.
Plan for skate park
City
Councillor
and
Linwood-
Central-
Heathcote
community
board
member Sara Templeton
talks about how important
having a permanent skate
park in Sumner is and
how the community can
use their own initiative to
regenerate Christchurch
It’s been a busy weekend in
Christchurch with events on all
over the city.
LYFE, Nostalgia, Holi, Japan
Day and Children’s Day have
all been on and complement the
ongoing smaller activities that
happen in our neighbourhoods
every week. The Mt Pleasant,
Sumner, Lyttelton and Opawa
markets are great places for us
to shop and connect as communities
and the many playgrounds
are full of children and
their parents catching up.
We’re missing something
though – ongoing activities
for our youth. There has been
demand for a skate park in the
Bays area for many years; it was
identified in a city council network
plan in 2004 and in 2009
and in 2015, it nearly
happened.
Demand has never been higher.
The success of the temporary
skate ramp in Sumner over the
last couple of years has shown
that not only is there a need for
one, but that they can be run
well and with none of the graffiti
and antisocial behaviours
from the skaters that is usually
predicted.
So, last week the new
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board decided
to get started on a permanent
skate park for the area. We will
go through a full site selection
process and bid for funding in
the Long Term Plan. Keep an
eye out as we’re keen to kick
this off as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, I also attended
the first community discussion
on future uses of the Port Hills
red-zoned land. It was held in
Mt Pleasant and community
led, as Regenerate Christchurch
are currently focused on the
larger flat residential red-zone.
There are 69 individual
red-zones in the Port Hills,
as well as the mass movement
areas and we’ll be able to consult
on all of them at the same
time.
However, there’s nothing
to stop communities starting
their own processes – holding
workshops and looking at the
various zoning maps to see
what might be possible. That
way we’ll be ready to go when
they are.

FUN: The Governors Bay Fete will have a variety of events available for families to take part in.
Fete a chance to spotlight jetty
• By Noah Graham
NEXT WEEK’S Governors
Bay Fete will be called the
“laughalympics.”
Allandale Domain will host
the ninth fete on March 19 and
it will be four hours of familyfriendly
fun, organiser Wendy
Foster said.
She said this year they are
expecting around 1000 people
to turn up to the event which
will have a variety of activities
from “walking the Jetty” – an
opportunity to raise awareness of
the Save the Jetty campaign – to
dunking Governors Bay firefighters
in water.
This year’s event will be “just a

coastal community and provide
local community groups a
chance to fundraise, she said.
She said there will be something
for everyone with both
young and old teaming up for
a special competition – the top
team challenge.
Mrs Foster said she had coined
it the “laughalympics” because
there are a variety of different
activities on offer and everyone
has fun.
“We’re planning for a large
community involvement this
year as community members
really came together to support
each other during the fire and
seem to be experiencing a regenerated
community spirit.”
Through the event the community
can expect to hear the
Sumner Silver Band and other
local musicians, she said.
LEARNING SKILLS: Mt Pleasant School year 3 to 8 pupils took
part in a round-robin football competition last week when the
school was visited by Ferrymead Bays Football Club captain
Ren Cameron and some Canterbury United Dragons players.
Year 5 and 6 teacher Jeremy Griffiths said everyone had fun,
including the teachers. “It was a great chance for the students
to meet some of Canterbury’s up-and-coming footballers and
showcase their talents at the same time,” he said.

Small Ship Cruising.
Where will 2017 and 2018 take you?
Cruising and in particular ‘Small ship cruising’ is something we are very passionate about at House
of Travel Ferrymead. Unpacking once and exploring diverse environments from the comfort of your
stateroom, small ships mean getting up close and personal with a destination, often getting into
more intimate locations, more time ashore, smaller groups of travellers and often very luxurious
vessels with an expedition aspect and feel. Securing a cabin on a cruise well in advance can form
the building block of your future adventure. Believe it or not cruising sells from the ‘top down’ –
that is the best cabins always go first, and bookings are already now open for 2018. We are excited
to present to you our picks for some exciting adventures for 2017 and 2018 – but rest assured small
ships mean less cabins so hurry and get in now to avoid disappointment and start planning your
travels with us now! Call us today on 03 376 4022.

Father-son duo win XRACE event
• By Poppy Wortman
A REDCLIFFS father and son
duo took out the line honours at
Sunday’s NZHL XRACE, held
under blazing blue skies at New
Brighton Beach.
At a speedy time of 41m 20s,
Greg Jansen and eight-year-old
son, Luke, tackled 10 challenges,
including creating a cardboard
house, building an origami bird
and performing dance steps.
Jansen had raced the previous
two years with Luke’s older sister
Hannah, but this year he signed
up with his middle son.
“I love the balance of the competition
and the companionship
of being in an event with my
children. There is just nothing
like this,” Jansen said.
“I loved every second of being
able to race with my son. I
couldn’t have been prouder.
“It’s a bit of a grudge match
now though; my six-year-old son
is booking me in for next year
and is aiming for a legacy.”
The Christchurch stop over
was the sixth event in the national
series of XRACE events. An
XRACE is a mystery adventure
race made up of a parent and
child, racing together against
other family teams to complete
10 mystery challenges.
XRACE series creator Shane
Hooks said the challenges are a
mixture of fun, like the dance
challenge, but carry life skills as
well. This year, teams were told
in advance that one challenge
would be sewing a button on a

shirt, which proved tricky for
many dads.
Hooks had high praise for
the Christchurch community
getting in behind the event, and
said there was a phenomenal
atmosphere.
“Christchurch families get
XRACE. They know that win or
lose, what really matters is getting
out there with your kids.”
Membership drive for Lyttelton netball
MORE SUCCESS: Football practice is well under way at
Ferrymead as the club prepares for the upcoming season.
The men’s senior and reserve teams have been training
for a few weeks now and are warming up for the Mainland
Premier League, which starts on March 19. Ferrymead’s
women’s and 45-plus men’s teams (pictured) took out gold
at the South Island Masters’ Tournament in Timaru last year
and the club is looking for more success this year. Club
captain Ren Cameron said the players were training well
and are looking forward to the season. He said there will be
a lot of exciting football this season for the club, particularly
with a team being sent to a three-day under-17 youth
football tournament in Auckland later this month.
THE LYTTELTON Netball
Club is hoping to increase its
membership pool this season.
Lyttelton committee chairwoman
Flo McGregor said training
will begin towards the end
of March with games starting
in April, but it is not too late for
people to register.
She said the closing date for
registrations is Sunday and the
club is always welcoming new
members.
“We enjoy the fact that our
club has many returning participants
and are really looking
forward to welcoming new
people into our growing netball
whānau.”
She said last year the club had
seven teams, including one adult
team, and it is hoping to attract
not just players, but managers,
coaches and committee members
as well.
“Not only are we hoping to

attract many players at registration,
we are also hoping that

managers will want to show

said.

Mishmash of sights in Milan
• By Mike Yardley
MILAN CAN be a tough nut to
crack and first impressions aren’t
always flattering.
Extensively bombed during
World War 2, the central city
skyline resembles an architectural
lasagne, a mishmash of the
venerable and the hastily built
brutalist.
But give this Italian powerhouse
of finance and fashion a
chance to reveal her finery and
you’ll be amply rewarded.
The banner attractions are
headlined by the Duomo,
Leonardo Da Vinci’s The Last
Supper, and what is arguably the
most elegant shopping centre
in Europe, Galleria Vittorio
Emanuele II.
Fancy a new way to commune
with this glass domed goliath?
Head up to the roofline of the
Galleria, which has only been
open to the public since May.
Costing €12, Highline Galleria
serves up giddy perspectives
of the building, across to the
Duomo, and on a clear day,
expansive views of the Alps.
The far end archway leading out
of the galleria adjoins the pretty
Piazza della Scala, adorned with
a statue of Leonardo Da Vinci
overlooking Teatro La Scala.
First built in 1778, this legendary
opera house was all but destroyed
during World War 2, but was
rapidly rebuilt and reopened in
1946. La Scala’s façade is rather
austere, but like much of Milan,
the real beauty lies within.
Its majestic six-tiered and
chandeliered interior, bursting
with gilded arches and scarlet-silk
furnishings are sublime. Trying
to score tickets to an opera is not
easy, nor cheap, so if you want to
grab a glimpse of the auditorium’s
lavish interior, just head next
door to Scala Museum where for
€6 you get to gaze down inside
this stupendous theatre.
One of Milan’s favourite sons,
Guiseppe Verdi, premiered 10 of
his 26 operas at La Scala and on
nearby Via Manzoni, take note
MAJESTIC: Clockwise from left, the Duomo, Galleria Vittorio
Emanuele II.
FOOD: Queues to sample Luini’s tasty morsels.
of the imposing Grand Hotel, an
old-school Milanese establishment,
where many glittery guests,
including Rudolf Nureyev and
Margot Fontein didn’t just stay
a few nights, but moved in. The
most famous resident was Verdi
himself, who shifted in 1872
and died in Room 105, in 1901.
Horses outside the hotel had their
hooves muffled, and the street
was draped in carpet to cushion
the sound of the carriages, so as
not to disturb the dying composer
in his last days. The hotel
is actually a time-capsule, to the
point that you can book the Verdi
Suite, the very room where he
died, which has been preserved as
a memorial.
An assortment of his property
remains including the desk
where he composed the music for
Othello, and rather morbidly, the
bed in which he died.
While soaking up the fashion
OPTION ONE
houses in the Golden Quad, enjoy
coffee and cake at Caffe Cova.
Situated on my favourite street,
via Montenapoleone, where
the pavement looks more like a
catwalk due to the fine threads
flaunted by the passers-by, the
café has been in business since
1817 and was a second home to
all the A-list composers. Order
up an espresso and a slice of Cova
Panettone, Verdi’s personal favourite
– but stay standing at the bar.
Sit down and you’ll pay 10 times
more.
Luini makes amazing panzerotti
– pillowy fried dough parcels
stuffed with tomato and mozzarella.
The Milanese have swooned
over Luini’s tasty morsels since
it first opened in 1888, and now
there’s always a line in front of
this hole-in-the wall shop. Panzerotti
is street food at its best;
cheap, cheerful, quick and tasty.
Alongside the original tomato
and mozzarella, the ricotta and
spinach combo hits the spot too
as does the mouth-watering spicy
salami.
If you’re shopping up a storm in
the Golden Quad, or just browsing,
one store that embodies the
Milanese obsession with bespoke
fashion is Maglia Francesco, Milan’s
famous umbrella company.
In a city where it rains more regularly
than Auckland, the trending

desire is a tailored umbrella.
You choose the wood, the metal,
the insets, the fabrics – even the
handle. It’s great fun watching
the bespoke brolly browsers in
action at Maglia Francesco, on via
Ripamonti.
One of Milan’s most adored
treasures is also one of the most
elusive: Da Vinci’s depiction of
The Last Supper. Miraculously
surviving the allied bombings,
the revered wall mural graces
the refectory of the Dominican
monastery at Santa Maria delle
Grazie. Da Vinci’s evocative work
was applied directly onto dry
wall, which is the reason for its
fragility, and the limited viewing
time. The painstaking restoration
carried out in recent years is
cause for celebration, albeit in a
hushed reverential kind of way.
FACT FILE
Steer clear of the
numerous rip-off ticket
touts, trawling the
streets (and the internet)
offering entrance tickets
at exorbitant prices to
see The Last Supper.
You shouldn’t have to
pay any more than €12.

Ace pilot’s spitfire engine on display
AN AIRCRAFT engine, which
lay buried in northern France
for more than 70 years, has come
halfway around the world to be
delivered to the homeland of its
pilot.
The Rolls Royce Merlin engine,
which belonged to an Mk.IXB
spitfire flown
by renowned
Invercargillborn
fighter ace
Johnny Checketts,
has arrived
at its new home
at the Air Force
Johnny
Checketts
Museum of
New Zealand in
Wigram.
Checketts son, Chris Checketts,
was with museum staff to
meet it.
The engine has a remarkable
story to tell, stretching back to
the height of World War 2.
On September 6, 1943, Checketts
and his fellow spitfire pilots
of No 485 (NZ) Squadron RAF
took off on a mission to escort 72
RAF bombers to their target in
France.
They were intercepted and
attacked by 20 German FW 190
fighters and, in the ensuing dogfight,
Checketts’ spitfire was hit.
There was an explosion and

squadron leader Johnny Checketts’ spitfire, which he flew during World War 2.
the cockpit filled with flames.
Checketts was badly burned but
managed to bail out, landing
safely in a field, while his spitfire
ploughed into the ground.
He was safely hidden with a
French family and his wounds
treated.
With help from the French Resistance,
Checketts evaded capture
for nearly two months and
safely made it back to England.
He passed away in Christchurch
in 2006 after serving as a
volunteer guide at the Air Force
Museum for a number of years.
In March 2015, French aviation
enthusiast group Somme
Aviation 39-45 uncovered the
remains of Checketts’ spitfire,
aided by the accurate memories
of local man André Bonvarlet
who, as a teenager, had witnessed
the spitfire crash and had seen
him bail out.
The complete Merlin engine,
together with numerous other
aircraft parts, was excavated
from beneath 3.5m of soil. Pierre
Ben and his team then began the
process of cleaning and restoring
the engine, which was encrusted
with clay and dirt.
Mr Ben contacted Chris in
Christchurch about the possibility
of sending the engine to New
Zealand.
Thanks to support from Mainfreight,
the engine was shipped
here. Chris then donated it to the
museum.
Through the efforts of Mr Ben
and his team, the museum now
has an enduring tribute to one
of the most famous Kiwi fighter
aces of World War 2.
Visitors will be able to view the
engine when it goes on public
display this month. Chris said he
felt “quite emotional” at encountering
such a tangible link to his
late father.

The Chilbury Ladies’ Choir
by Jennifer Ryan
The village of Chilbury in Kent is about to ring in some
changes.This is a delightful novel of wartime gumption
and village spirit that will make your heart sing out. Kent,
1940.In the idyllic village of Chilbury change is afoot.
Hearts are breaking as sons and husbands leave to fight,
and when the Vicar decides to close the choir until the
men return, all seems lost.But coming together in song is
just what the women of Chilbury need in these dark hours,
and they are ready to sing. With a little fighting spirit and the
arrival of a new musical resident, the charismatic Miss Primrose
Trent, the choir is reborn.Some see the choir as a chance to forget their
troubles, others the chance to shine. Though for one villager, the choir is the
perfect cover to destroy Chilbury’s new-found harmony.Uplifting and profoundly
moving, THE CHILBURY LADIES’ CHOIR explores how a village can endure the
onslaught of war, how monumental history affects small lives and how survival
is as much about friendship as it is about courage.

Theatre/Arts
Classic kid’s tale finally coming
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
FROM THE moment The
Very Hungry Caterpillar Show
was brought to life on stage,
Australian
producer Michael
Sieders (right)
had his heart set
on bringing the
show across the
ditch.
After two years
of touring Australia, the timeless
children’s story will finally come
to the city in July.
Star Media has partnered the
Isaac Theatre Royal to bring the
successful show to Christchurch
audiences.
“It has been a long time coming.
I have been planning this
since its inception in 2015. Glad
we can finally get it over there,”
Sieders said.
The show is to be presented by
JWR Productions Australia and
Michael Sieders Presents.
Seventy-five hand-made
puppets controlled by just four
cast members will take Eric
Carle’s classic tale from the page
to the Isaac Theatre Royal’s
stage.
But to stay true to what is only
a short 22-page book, audiences
will get to see another three of
MAGICAL SHOW: The giant butterfly is one of 75 hand-made
puppets to feature in The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show.
Carle’s children’s book adapted,
bulking the show out to nearly
an hour.
The show is to begin with The
Artist Who Painted a Blue Horse,
Mister Seahorse, The Very Lonely
Firefly before finishing with The
Very Hungry Caterpillar.
The stage is to be transformed
into a giant library with a 3.5m
high book prop enabling the cast
to create the different setting for
each story.
A team of about five puppetmakers
from Puppet Kitchen
Productions in New York city
spent four months full-time
creating the puppets before they
were shipped off to Sydney.
“We have puppets that range
in size from the little tiny lightup
firefly which is probably
about the size of someone’s
hand, ranging right up to the
butterfly which has a wing span
of nearly 4m,” Sieders said.
He said the giant butterfly
puppet will literally fly off a page
and head straight towards the
audience.
“Even though you only get to
see those puppets for sometimes
a very brief moment on stage,
you can tell so much work has
gone into them and the detail is
just breath-taking”.
Sieders said this is his first
work he has done for children
and it has been the most
satisfying experience he has had
as a producer.

32 Head Street
This wonderful large home will impress - sunny spacious and in a perfect position, the "Golden Triangle" of Sumner.
Only a short stroll to the beach, paddling pool, park and café - what could be better? Local schools and tennis club

1930s, the extensive renovation in 1998 added a second story. Now four large double bedrooms, two bathrooms,
brilliant storage and separate living areas both upstairs and down, this home allows freedom for everyone to enjoy their
own space. Bathed in all day sun with open plan kitchen, the generous dining area opens to an expansive deck leading
to well established gardens and lawns. Private, fenced and safe with internal access double garaging plus workshop.
A fantastic opportunity in this prestigious area, hill views and lifestyle to enjoy!
